Zanu's Circus

This is an easy reader book. If you have a child nearby, give it a test run for me. If you'd leave a comment it would help me determine if this is a weed or a flower. Thanks.

Zanu grew up in the circus. His father was the ringmaster. His mother walked the tight rope. Zanu loved the circus. He loved feeding the animals in the morning. He loved helping the clowns dress up. He loved bringing his mother lunch. He even loved taking down the big tent.

Zanu knew how to do everything at the circus. He tamed the lion. He flew with the acrobats. He was a very silly clown.

The circus was struggling. People didn't come any more. Zanu's father said, "We will have to be a family circus. We will have to do it all ourselves. Everyone else will have to find a new job."

Zanu was sad. He liked the clowns. He did not want to be a clown. Zanu liked the lion tamer. He did not want to be a lion tamer. Zanu wanted to save the circus, not become the circus.

Everyone was sad. Tomorrow was the last show for everyone but Zanu's family. Everyone went to sleep. Everyone but Zanu.

Zanu made new signs. Zanu took down the big tent. Zanu moved the rings. Zanu had a plan.

"Wake up!" he said to the performers. "We have a new circus. We will be a teaching circus. We will teach children how to perform. We will make them part of the show. Everyone will come to see them."

The performers were surprised. Zanu's family was surprised. They looked at Zanu's signs. They liked Zanu's signs. They listened to Zanu's plans. They liked Zanu's plans. "We will do it!" they said.

Everyone came to Zanu's circus. They learned how to walk the tight rope. They learned how to tame the poodle dog. They learned how to be clowns. Then they starred in the show. Everyone was a success. Everyone was happy. Zanu saved the circus.

The End.
